| My mother-in-law bought a copy of this guide a number of years
ago (she said she saw it on TV on the public television channel).
My 15 year old son used your printed guide booklet to belp video
his grandparents as a project for his Boy Scout Family Life Merit
Badge. At tbe time of the video, my mom was only 72 years old
and apparently healthy. As it turned out, she died a year and
a balf later. I just want you to know bow grateful I am to have
this video to help remember her as well as to be able to have
a record of some of our family history tbat would bave been lost
without it. The questions in your guide booklet really elicited
some great stories and we all had an enormous amount of fun with
the project.

it was for us and our children to ask more questions of
them. It has stimulated more conversation about their past.

|
| "RECOMMENDED for any library
supporting genealogical research."
-LIBRARY JOURNAL |
|
| "A serious genealogy can
take a lifetime to compile. Most of us are not inclined
to take on such a daunting task. However, for those of us with
more modest goals, this provides the framework for creating
a family heirloom."
-RECOMMENDED.
-VIDEO LIBRARIAN magazine |
|
| "Interviews with relatives are
a recommended starting place for the genealogical researcher. This
production takes that recommendation one step further and demonstrates
how a videotaped interview not only allows the researcher to
collect the facts needed but also provides a visual record
of the family member. Journalist and commentator Heywood Hale
Broun and actress Penny Hays discuss and demonstrate interviewing
techniques and conduct a sample interview. The accompanying
printed guide offers additional information along with a genealogical
chart Recommended for any library supporting genealogical research."
